To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-perature and be sure it is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off. Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it again. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be between the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range. HGK5004
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
G030A02O-GAT Recommended Oil Engine oil is essential to the perfor-
mance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil levelat least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.
The engine oil quality should meet
the following classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE,ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE G030B01JM
NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 en-gine oil is preferred regardless of regional option and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is not available, second-ary recommended engine oil forcorresponding temperature range can be used. 1.6L/2.0L

Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enoughto burn you. G030D01A-GAT
Adding Oil 1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counter-clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock- wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine.
Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil while nor- mal driving. The cause of oil con- sumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis- tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process.
2.7L
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil: WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.

8CHANGING THE OIL AND FIL- TER
G040A04GK-GAT
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity and quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. More engine oil may be consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds, frequent acceleration and deceleration, compared to normaldriving condition.

The engine oil and filter should be
changed at those intervals specifiedin the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oiland filter changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil
and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and
set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowestmark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
